Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) adds a protective atmosphere inside the package to extend your food’s shelf-life by up to four times versus non-MAP packaging. By extending your product’s shelf-life, you can improve quality, increase distribution distance possibilities and decrease costs by minimizing waste.

With MAP, food products are packed with a single gas or a combination of gases – usually carbon dioxide, nitrogen and oxygen – depending on the spoilage mechanisms of the food. Every food has a unique gas mix that can best maximize the preservation effect of MAP. Visit airproducts.com/MAP to see all the details about MAP for YOUR food products.

Even if you are already using MAP packaging, we can make your life easier! Using our CryoEase® microbulk supply mode for your MAP gases provides numerous advantages over cylinder supply. Microbulk delivery offers safety, efficiency, quality control and maintenance benefits; and as your production increases, our vessel sizes can be optimized to grow with your business.
